How to Sell on Amazon - Upcoming class

If you're curious about selling on Amazon, don't know how or where to start, this class is for you!

There are many Amazon sellers that gross over a million dollars per year, but make no mistake about it. This is still a "job", it requires knowledge and effort, and it is not a get rich quick scheme.

As a result, this class does not guarantee that you will be successful selling on Amazon. However, it does guarantee that you will be taught everything you need to know about how to be successful selling on Amazon:

1. How to setup your business (correctly)
2. How to start selling on Amazon
3. Amazon's rules / requirements
4. How and where to look for products
5. How to list your product for sale and get it in the hands of a customer
6. Advanced topics (pricing, marketing, attracting buyers, custom label products, etc.).

That knowledge, combined with effort and drive on your part, is all you need to become one of the many others that are supplementing (or replacing) their income without being tied to a desk or set work hours. The beauty of selling on Amazon is that even though you still have to "work", invest time and effort, and always be learning, you can do all of that whenever you want, wherever you want.

There are several products that I buy on a regular basis from established companies, that sell on Amazon within 7 days for at least 50% more than I paid for it. That means I can purchase this product for $10, and put $15 in my pocket one week later.

There are lots of products that sell for 2-100 times what you paid, but those are usually "one offs" or short-lived. You'll learn how to find and take advantage of those, but this class focuses on the repeatable and consistent products. Making $15 on $10 doesn't sound like much, but there aren't many other (legal) businesses where you make a 50% profit.

If you are a bargain hunter, couponer, or like thrifting / garage sale fan, this is a natural fit for you.

You can easily add this to your current activities with minimal effort, and I guarantee you that you're already walking by products that will make you money.

Or, if you're a traditional "brick and mortar" store owner, this is a great way to learn how to sell your products internationally, without needing to pay a website guru, deal with shopping carts, or spend hours updating inventory feeds. As a matter of fact, with this class you'll be able to get your inventory listed on Amazon without even needing to own a website or domain name.

This class format will be "a la carte" by month:

Already have your own business established, tax i.d., etc.? No problem, we'll see you in month 2.

Already selling on eBay, but tired of packing, shipping, and collecting? No problem, skip the month on finding products and jump right in the month where we teach you how to list.

Financial or personal commitments prevent you from attending the classes one month? No problem, view the video / audio archive, or simply pick up the class at another location or during another month.

Best of all, once you pay for a module (month), that content is available for you for one year. You're also welcome to attend that same module again (as many times as you want) in class, free of charge, subject to seat availability.

The class format and location are still being developed, so this is your chance to give your input and take advantage of any pre-registration savings we may offer. 

At this point, all you need to do is access our free survey to indicate what would make this class work best for you. At the end, you'll be given the opportunity to submit your email address to be kept up to date as get closer to the January 2014 launch date.
